[0002] A nuclear reactor, also known as an atomic energy reactor or a reactor, is a device that can maintain a controllable self-sustaining chain nuclear fission reaction to realize the utilization of nuclear energy. By reasonably arranging nuclear fuel in the nuclear reactor, a self-sustaining chain nuclear fission process can occur therein without adding a neutron source. Control rods are made of neutron-absorbing materials to control the rate of the chain reaction at a predetermined level, and are called control rods and safety rods. Control rods are used to compensate for fuel consumption and adjust the reaction rate; safety rods are used to quickly stop the chain reaction.
[0003] During the use of small reactor control rods, the height of the control rod will change in different situations with the change of the reaction. By monitoring the height change of the control rod, the safety of the reaction can be known. However, in the existing monitoring and control of control rods, through system control, once the system fails or there is a power outage, the height change of the control rod cannot be known at this time. Therefore, an auxiliary device for measuring the position of a reactor control rod is provided. Content of the Utility Model

When the height of one control rod body 3 is abnormal, it will push the bottom auxiliary plate 9 to move upward, and both the infrared lamp 18 and the lower conductive contact block 11 on the bottom mounting block 10 move upward. Through the infrared light emitted by the infrared lamp 18, it can irradiate on the measurement scale 19. By observing the measurement scale 19, the height change of the control rod body 3 can be intuitively observed, thus achieving a good auxiliary measurement effect.
[0022] Specifically, a lower contact inclined surface 13 is provided on one side of the lower conductive contact block 11, and an upper contact inclined surface 14 is provided on one side of the upper conductive contact block 12. The lower contact inclined surface 13 and the upper contact inclined surface 14 are adapted to each other. The warning component includes a warning light 20 fixedly installed on the top mounting plate 5.

As the height continuously increases, at this time, the lower conductive contact block 11 will contact the upper conductive contact block 12. After contact, the warning light 20 will light up and give an alarm to remind the staff.

As it continuously moves upward, the lower contact inclined surface 13 of the lower conductive contact block 11 contacts the upper contact inclined surface 14 more and more, and the passing current becomes larger and larger. At this time, the sound of the warning light 20 also becomes louder and louder. Through the change of the sound, it is used to remind people that it is more and more dangerous. After the upper conductive contact block 12 is squeezed and contacted, it will drive the convex slider 16 to move in the convex chute 15 and compress the compression spring 17, so as to ensure that the upper conductive contact block 12 is in close contact with the lower conductive contact block 11, which is convenient to use.
